What Is The Cause Of Stinging Sensation In The Hands?

occasionally when I first wake in the morning as I bend my fingers or reach to grab something I get a sharp burning or stinging sensation on the backs of my hands. After that, I dont feel it again until after my hands at rest for a good while. Any thoughts what could cause this?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are not indicative of any neurological disorder. Arthritis can not be excluded.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your GP and performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, Rheumatoid factor).
Further tests may be needed, depending on the above test results.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
